Research project QArctic

Climate warming is thawing permafrost and melting glaciers in the Arctic, causing vegetation changes, extreme drought and fires. All this depends strongly on the energy exchange between atmosphere and soil. more

Mathias Göckede and Martin Heimann together with cooperation partners receive a prestigious ERC Synergy Grant for climate-relevant permafrost research. Their successfully evaluated project "Quantify disturbance impacts on feedbacks between Arctic permafrost and global climate - Q-ARCTIC" will be funded with a total of €10 million over 6 years. more
